Re: Thunderbirds are go!!!!!!!!
Was given an Airfix Buccaneer kit for Xmas in about 1964. Sure the box said it was a Blackburn NA39, which really dates it.
Airfix's kits were so bland in those days, both in execution and subject matter. But there was a little hardware shop in my street that had Frog kits. They had some fabulous subjects - Fokker D21, Macchi Mc202, Miles Magister.
Those who buy those early Airfix and Frog (Novo) that are still around must wonder how we ever assembled them. But while they were pretty awful, the moulds weren't as sad as they are now. The parts did fit once and they were all there, fully formed!
